Tasmanian Tigers allrounder Nicola Carey will again don the green and gold after being named in Australia\u2019s squad for next month\u2019s six-match international series against Bangladesh and New Zealand.<\/p>\n
Carey has been selected in a 14-player squad for three ODIs against Bangladesh at Allan Border Field from October 9-14, followed by three T20 internationals against New Zealand at North Sydney Oval from October 18-22.<\/p>\n
The selection continues the return to the international arena for the 33-year-old, who stepped away from a Cricket Australia contract in 2023 to focus on domestic cricket before forcing her way back into the national set-up.<\/p>\n
Carey returned to Australian colours earlier this year and was part of the squad which claimed a historic seventh ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup title.<\/p>\n
Her international resurgence followed several outstanding seasons for Tasmania, where she played a major role in the Tigers\u2019 historic WNCL three-peat, while also helping the Hobart Hurricanes claim their maiden WBBL championship last summer.<\/p>\n
Carey has played 28 ODIs and 31 T20 internationals for Australia since making her international debut in 2018, and was also a member of Australia\u2019s victorious 2020 T20 World Cup and 2022 ODI World Cup squads.<\/p>\n
She is currently in Perth with the Tigers for their opening two matches of the 2026-27 WNCL season against Western Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese six matches will provide a great challenge for the side following the World Cup, with both Bangladesh and New Zealand presenting different challenges,\u201d national selector Shawn Flegler said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBangladesh will be a really good test, particularly with the quality they have in their bowling attack. It\u2019s also a great opportunity for our batters to get exposure to subcontinent-style bowling ahead of the Champions Trophy in India.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tasmanian Tigers allrounder Nicola Carey will again don the green and gold after being named in Australia\u2019s squad…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85,83],"class_list":["post-910431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
